Abstract
The worldwide opening of a massive amount of unlicensed spectra around 60 GHz has triggered great interest in developing affordable 60-GHz radios. This interest has been catalyzed by recent advance of 60-GHz front-end technologies. This paper briefly reports recent work in the 60-GHz radio. Aspects addressed in this paper include global regulatory and standardization, justification of using the 60-GHz bands, 60-GHz consumer electronics applications, radio system concept, 60-GHz propagation and antennas, and key issues in system design. Some new simulation results are also given. Potentials and problems are explained in detail.
Highlights
During the past few years, substantial knowledge about the 60-GHz millimeter-wave (MMW) channel has been accumulated and a great deal of work has been done toward developing MMW communication systems for commercial applications [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16]
The 60-GHz radio has been discussed in different aspects
Success of the 60-GHz radio will largely depend on the advance of 60-GHz front-end technology
Summary
During the past few years, substantial knowledge about the 60-GHz millimeter-wave (MMW) channel has been accumulated and a great deal of work has been done toward developing MMW communication systems for commercial applications [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16]. According to the reports about recent progress in developing the 60-GHz front-end chip sets [15], IBM engineers have demonstrated the first experimental 60-GHz transmitter and receiver chips using a high-speed alloy of silicon and germanium (SiGe); researchers from UCLA, UC Berkeley Wireless Research Center (BWRC), and other universities or institutes are using a widely available and inexpensive complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology to build 60-GHz transceiver components. With merging of former multiband OFDM alliance (MBOA), the WiMedia alliance is pushing a 60-GHz WPAN industrial standard, likely based on orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) technology.
